For the second consecutive year, David Bazirgan and his crew at the Fifth Floor will be holding a weeklong guest chef series this December. Just like last year’s dinners, each chef will pay homage to his or her heritage. They’ll take place during the first week of December; each tasting menu will consist of seven courses for $125 (with optional wine pairings for $75).

With Bissonnette and Lynch, Bazirgan is getting back to his Boston roots. The celebrated Lynch has long been a mentor of his, and he worked at No. 9 Park as her chef de cuisine when she won a James Beard Award in 2003. So they go way back.

Also like the 2011 version, host chef Bazirgan, who was inspired by Meadowood’s 12 Days of Christmas, will be collaborating on the menus as well. Reservations are available ; do note that a portion of proceeds go to Meals on Wheels.
